Book Review: Reset by Janet Elizabeth Henderson

     Ryan spent over seven months in a coma. Now, with lots of physical therapy he feels ready to get back to work. His team have supported him every step of the way, but are concerned he isn't telling them everything. When he is taken on the street his team will stop at nothing to saving him. Ryan, however, awakens in a cavern to find a woman shackled to the wall. She seems to know him, but she isn't ringing any bells. In order to escape the pair must work together to overcome near impossible odds. 

    I received a physical copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. 

    Thrillers and romances are easily my top favorite genres, so a book that combined the two was a real treat. Although Ryan's team deals in security and retrieval there is just enough leeway to make readers wonder if they will reach him before it is too late. Not that Ryan plays a helpless character in this book. In fact, if he hadn't done everything he did there wouldn't have been a chance. 

    I personally couldn't imagine being in Sarah's place. Falling for a man over months via text. Meeting up with him, having a wonderful time, then inviting him back to her place never to hear from him again? I've never had a one night stand, although more power to those that have and enjoy it. Still, the abandonment feeling in this case...just ouch. Even if there was a good reason. 

    Meanwhile, poor Ryan is missing chunks of his life along with random people. These encounters he may never get back. Then there are the complications he is suffering from, which I wont go into more details on. You'll have to read about that for yourself! Still, he is determined to get back to the team he considers family. 

    Things go from bad to worse for these two when they wake up in a cavern only to find other bodies, rats, and cameras. Can the pair escape together before they starve (or worse) or will this cavern claim more lives? 

    An exciting book that leaves you wondering about the end until the last page. This is not the first book in the series and it does give both hints and spoilers about how the characters within the other books end up. So, if you don't like knowing if the guy gets the girl and what their future holds you'll want to read the books in order. Personally, while this is sometimes an issue I loved this book so much I would absolutely read every other book in this series without complaint.

Book Review: The Silver Ninja Narco Hotel by Wilmar Luna

     After being removed from her position with the police force Cindy withdrew into herself. She refused to use her alter-ego, the silver ninja, but her former boss wants an encroaching drug cartel out no matter the cost. Can she save her city from this threat or will she lose herself in the process? 

    I received a physical copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. 

    I want to start by saying I'm so sorry for how long it took me to do the review. My goal is always six months and while I am normally able to stay within or exceed this timeline I am dreadfully behind. At the time I accepted this book I also accepted over one-hundred others. Many of those I have finished, while others I am still working on, unfortunately. In addition to that during these last ten months my grandfather died, causing me to go on a reading hiatus. I bought a house, moved into said house, lost access to my computer (still barely have access to it), and am now pregnant and am very sick all the time having lost over twenty pounds in the last month and a half. It's not an excuse, I just wanted to be transparent in why I am so behind on reviews. On to the important stuff...the review. 

    The writing left nothing to be desired and the pain character, while racist, wasn't the biggest problem in the book. There is plenty of action and while the main character has super-human abilities it is done in a way that it is believable. Technological advancements at their best. My biggest drawback with this book was my being unaware that this was not book one. I felt like I spent most of the book playing catch up or wandering around lost without information that would have proved useful. This book cannot be read as a stand-alone. 

    If I had started at the beginning of this story instead of here I would have had no complaints about this book at all as it was an exciting read when I understood what was going on. As it stands this will be my last silver ninja book since the experience of finding my way through the backstory took some of the fun away for me. 

    The characters within the book are great and all are believable as actual human beings. This book plays out as a plausible sci-fi action well within realistic standards, so long as that suit could be made.
